We put the ‘art’ in ‘heart’

With all the hype over Eric Gordon and our new University President Michael McRobbie, it can be easy to forget that Bloomington houses a world-famous music school and a dense local arts community. We’re going to change that. Both of us are passionate about the arts and our main goal is to make them more accessible to students and residents so that others can share our appreciation.

There’s something about Harry

·

Since 1997, readers have almost yearly immersed itself in the magical, mirror-image world of Harry Potter, a boy raised in England but educated in the ways of magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry’s coming-of-age tale, told in a language of wands, spells and the ever-present game of Quidditch, came to an end last week with the release of the last installment in author J.K. Rowling’s internationally renowned series. Fans flooded bookstores across the world to snatch up copies of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” and the scene at the Bloomington Barnes and Noble, 2813 E. Third St., was no different.
